I was in the corps several years ago... (as you know)... it was far different then. George is right, do something else. There are many places that have summer trips that will pay for housing and support your efforts. Or you can pay your own way. Some good places to start are, FeedthePoor.org the Salvation Army and AidforAfrica.org,...
I can call some people if you are really interetsed.
I am sure, that no matter where you live, there is somekind of volunteering program that could use you. My husband, children, and I volunteer all the time. I want my kids to know this world isn't just about them. Selfish people seem to be everywhere, it's the givers that seem to be rare these days.
I loved the peace corps. I learned a lot about people, culture and survival. Everyday that I live now is a blessing. I learned never to take anything for granted. It makes you a tougher person, emotionally and physically. And all while doing something good for others. Good luck.
